Peacock vows, losing time and starting fresh #2025 #newyear #history #facts #2024 #story #youtube
Perhaps few things resound so completely in the human heart as notching out the passage of time with temporal landmarks that interrupt the ordinary day to day occurrences of life.
I suspect you’ve noticed by now, that humans are instinctively drawn to rituals, and anything allowing us to separate time into before and after, while sloughing off weight of our past failures and negative experiences while embracing the potential our future holds, is of particular importance to our journey.
Drawing that line indelibly in bold black ink on our mental timeline gives us permission to figuratively wipe our slate clean and begin again with a renewed vigor strengthened by a backbone of hope.
Behavioral scientists call this the “Fresh Start effect”
We hope you have enjoyed the video and that if you have you will consider liking, commenting and even sharing with your family and friends, as all of it helps our channel continue to grow.
Thanks for watching this year...
HAPPY NEW YEAR and to
WELCOME 2025!

In a little town under Roman authority during the reign of Herod the great young Jewish girl, newly engaged to be married, found herself suddenly the object of God’s undivided attention. She was no different in her community than other girls her age, surrounded by her family and relatives, hard working tradesmen who spoke fluently in Aramaic with a Galilean accent. And yet on this as she went a...

To our modern tastes, undoubtedly jaded by the amount of refined sugar and flour we consume yearly, fruitcakes seem antiquated, heavy and unnaturally stuffed with garishly colored candied fruit, giving it a similar connotation as meeting a clown… outside the circus… just a bit off setting.

Life might be dreary without Hallmark movies, too. 😆Last night they mixed it up a bit with a Hanukkah movie, as it coincides with Christmas this year. 🕎Cheers to your wonderful work with your Advent Calendar and for keeping up our spirits!

    you wrapped the first antenna "clockwise" from the bottom and then the second one "clockwise" from the top, they aren't the same direction. it also does not matter which direction you wind the coil, as far as i can tell. if you're interested in the science i'd recommend being a little more rigorous with testing- maybe the direction does matter, but for most magnetic applications it does not. try setting up 3 different plants, one with the wire wrapped in one direction, one the other direction, and one with no antenna at all. then give each one the exact same treatment and record the results

    As a former video producer, I have to say, that's a magnificent opening! And the video treatment of the poem itself, as well. You might want to slow down just a tad for the reading. You won't believe this, but I have proved that Edgar Allan Poe's claim to this poem was merely a scam. It was written in December of 1841, from real-life circumstances, by Mathew Franklin Whittier, the brother of the Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Poe scooped it by three days, stripping out Mathew's pseudonym, "(blank) Quarles," and replacing it with his own name. He then scooped the legitimate premiere by three days in the daily newspaper he wrote for, the NY Evening mirror, pretending to his editor (VERY implausibly) that he had permission. Mysteriously, he left the "Evening Mirror" soon after that.

      Thank you for the lovely compliment and the good advice to slow down a bit... always good advice. 😊 Your information regarding Poe is VERY interesting! Poe was my grandmother's great uncle and when I did a report on him in grade school, she was clear that the family wasn't thrilled with him and his vices. Given her tone of voice, I suspect my grandmother would not be surprised by your claim. I wish I could remember the conversation with greater detail, but that was a "few" years back.😂 Thank you for sharing that information we shall have to look into this very soon...😊

      @@verityhouseinspired9184 I wish you *could* remember that! So your grandmother would have been in the lineage of Poe's adopting (or almost adopting) father, is that correct? (I'm so terrible at figuring out family relations). The history makes out his disapproval of Poe to be unfair, but I'm thinking it may not have been.

      I'm going to have to do a little digging in my papers and find the exact lineage... There are so many things you wish as an adult that you had thought to ask when you had the chance. I do have family records, so this would probably be an interesting study for the Pixies and I to dig into.😊

    He stole it from Tesla, whom didn't patent the technology.
